A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults agree with President Donald Trump that whether a person is a man or woman is determined by their sex at birth.

WASHINGTON (AP) — About half of U.S. adults approve of how President Donald Trump is handling transgender issues, according to a new poll — a relative high point for a president who has the approval overall of about 4 in 10 Americans.

But support for his individual policies on transgender people is not uniformly strong, with a clearer consensus against policies that affect youth.

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey conducted this month found there’s more support than opposition on allowing transgender troops in the military, while most don’t want to allow transgender students to use the public school bathrooms that align with their gender identity and oppose using government programs to pay for gender-affirming health care for transgender youth.

Schuyler Fricchione, a 40-year-old stay-at-home mother from northern Virginia, is one of those who opposes the government paying for gender-affirming care, especially for young people.

She said she doesn’t want people to make major changes that they might later regret. But she said that because of her Catholic faith, she doesn’t want to exclude transgender people from public life. “It’s very important to me that everyone understands their dignity and importance as a person.”

“It is something I am kind of working through myself,” she said. “I am still learning.”

Most adults agree with Trump that sex is determined at birth

About two-thirds of U.S. adults agree with President Donald Trump that whether a person is a man or woman is determined by their biological characteristics at birth.

The poll found that Republicans overwhelmingly believe gender identity is defined by sex at birth, but Democrats are divided, with about half saying gender identity...

“Most adults agree with Trump that sex is determined at birth”

The sperm cell contains one half of the sex chromosome. The egg contains the other. That is how it is determined, not by how anyone “feels” years later. I don’t know why this is so difficult to understand.

Don’t forget the massive medical windfall from drugs, to surgeries. And the control the state gets over your kids. This is an evil, multi-billion dollar industry that needs to be destroyed and its prividers and enablers need to be killed.

Anyone who really thinks about this understands that there are Males and there are Females and there are Birth Defects. And the birth defects are really, really, really rare.

The Political Elites are lying to us about basic biology. If they lie to use about this, what else are they lying to us about? Everything.

Trump is not a standard politician. He is more truthful, and everybody knows it.

transgender people

There isn't such a thing. It's just more RATaganda, designed to break up the nuclear family unit, and groom kids for faggots.

But there are plenty of child-molesting whackjobs and their young brainwashed victims.

Right - it’s weird even to see it in a headline.

Next headline: “Shocking Poll Reveals Most Americans Think Two Plus Two Equals Four!!”
